The Certificate in Advanced Evaluation Practices
is awarded for completion of the first level Certificate in Evaluation
Practice, plus additional instruction designed to lead to an increased
breadth and depth of understanding of the comprehensive array of approaches
and theories of evaluation practice. It is for experienced evaluators
and others who wish to expand their evaluation horizons, deepen their
understandings, and increase their abilities to produce high quality
evaluations tailored to programs that vary in nature and scope and that
serve diverse audiences.
Requirements: Completion of Certificate
in Evaluation Practice, plus 15 days of required coursework in Group
IIA topics, below, and 15 days of electives from Groups IIB and IIC
topics, over and beyond electives chosen for the first-level certificate
(CEP). In the list below, each topic is linked to the current TEI course
that satisfies the requirement or the elective.
Many past TEI courses satisfy part or all of
the hours associated with Group II courses. If you are a past TEI participant,
you may request a transcript showing your credits against any Certificate.
Send a stamped and self-addressed envelope to the TEI office: 116
Front Street, Federal Building, Rm 236, Lewes, DE 19958, and indicate
which certificate(s) are of interest. Transcripts will be provided at
no cost as long as we are permitted to handle these requests as we have
